In a new enough vim, you might be able to hack something together using v:oldfiles. Or... well, this is even more of a hack, in my opinion, but it works. If you have % in your viminfo option, you can do 'vim a b c' and then :qa to get a b and c into your buffer list. The next time you start vim, do it with " vim -c 'args d e' " and your buffer list contains a, b, c, d, and e. It's quite a hack, but it might help. ~Matt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
